Could this be a possible D over a slanted D? any kind of error? I'll post two pictures. This is the one I am curious about. this one I am using to compare with. Another 43 steel.

PilcrowsCoins Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 01/12/2019 12:15 pm Didn't notice till now. One is a large D (top image) bottom image is a small D. Don't know much about this. Anything special? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/12/2019 12:49 pm Sorry, but I can't really tell with the gunk along the edges of the mm. Have you looked through the known RPMs on variety vista to compare against your coin? http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...%201943D.htm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
PilcrowsCoins Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 11:03 am Thanks Spence for the page. Mine looks a lot like the RPM 006 on that page. I'll have to try and get a better photo of it. You know if there is any difference/value for the larger D? The one in the top picture I posted (one I am talking about) The D is a lot bigger and higher than all the photos I have came across of the 1943 D. Other than the rpm 006 on that page. But even mine looks slightly larger. Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 11:18 am No prob glad to help. I will say that you should be able to match the size, position, and orientation of the mintmark exactly when you compare to the listed RPMs. If all three don't match then either it is the wrong RPM or else your coin isn't an RPM.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 1:03 pm This looks like a RPM from what I see. If the debris/gunk was removed around the devices, you might get a better image and send the image to John Wexler to see what he thinks. I checked the three sites, but the mint mark locations is no where near for your coins location. Keep it safe. Report this Post to the Staff
PilcrowsCoins Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 4:27 pm Thanks Coop. I'll keep it safe. Not sure what I could use to clean the gunk off. Don't want to damage the coin if its anything special. It's pretty dirty/old. Looks like it was in dirt/sand at one time or it just fades that way. Out of all the 43's so far, I haven't found one with this large of a D on it, or as high. It's similar to the 006 coin on the website above. But, the date and the D is slightly larger. I need to start searching to see if there is a small date/large date variety. I know nothing about the 43 steel. Report this Post to the Staff
